³⁰ in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

⁹ for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient. ¹⁰ And to whom ye forgive anything—I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you—in the person of Christ—I forgive it,

³ since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

¹⁰ because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;

¹⁷ and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

⁶ And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

⁶ And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, he is in thy hand; only his life take care of.'

⁶ Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

¹⁴ Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

⁸ who also shall confirm you unto the end—unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

⁶ sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that is by the more part, ⁷ so that, on the contrary, it is rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁶ and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.

¹ Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself—lest thou also may be tempted; ² of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

⁶ having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform it till a day of Jesus Christ,

¹⁴ and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed, ¹⁵ and as an enemy count him not, but admonish ye him as a brother;

²⁰ of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

¹⁸ may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.

¹⁹ Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back, ²⁰ let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

¹² waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt;

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

²² and to some be kind, judging thoroughly, ²³ and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.

³³ Another simile spake he to them: `The reign of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.'

⁶ and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;' <sup>7</sup> and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, `Because we took no loaves.' ⁸ And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves? ⁹ do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? ¹⁰ nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? ¹¹ how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread—to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?' ¹² Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

²¹ It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.'

²¹ So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

¹⁸ And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up; ¹⁹ but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;

² and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,

³³ Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

⁹ a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;

¹⁷ and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

¹⁶ and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;

⁵ a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take it . ⁶ `And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;

¹⁵ Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only—in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel.

⁶ `Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah; ⁷ unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and any thing fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with thee in all thy border.

⁷ It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth. ⁸ By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued, ⁹ And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich are his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor is deceit in his mouth.
¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

¹² And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt thou, that, having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?'

²⁹ on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

³⁶ and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God;'

¹⁴ and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!'

³² And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: `As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth; <sup>33</sup> in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation—who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.' <sup>34</sup> And the eunuch answering Philip said, `I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?' ³⁵ and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.

¹⁷ because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all of the one bread do partake.

³ for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,

²² ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry— ⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, ⁷ in which also ye—ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;
⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking—out of your mouth. ⁹ Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ's— ²⁰ foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you,

⁶ and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth, ⁷ and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne. ⁸ And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints, ⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹² saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!'

⁶ `Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah;

⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

¹⁶ `And in the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to Jehovah; ¹⁷ and in the fifteenth day of this month is a festival, seven days unleavened food is eaten;

³ `Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life;

¹⁶ `Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose—in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;

¹⁴ `And now, fear ye Jehovah, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah;

² O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

⁴ These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

⁶ And made hath Jehovah of Hosts, For all the peoples in this mount, A banquet of fat things, a banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, preserved things refined.

²⁹ Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go in to the mountain of Jehovah, Unto the rock of Israel.

⁶ and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'

¹² Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

⁴ and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill him, ⁵ and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.'

¹⁵ and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

¹ At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, `Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'

²⁸ They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover; ²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?' <sup>30</sup> they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'

³ for yet ye are fleshly, for where there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

¹ Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations—as that one hath the wife of the father! —

⁶ Not good is your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

⁹ have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. ¹¹ And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹² For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

²⁰ for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I—I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections, ²¹ lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

¹⁷ This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind, ¹⁸ being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart, ¹⁹ who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness; ²⁰ and ye did not so learn the Christ, ²¹ if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus; ²² ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,

²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.

¹ Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings, ² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

² no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth! ¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,
²⁰ because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

¹ O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat; ² But—in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

⁶ Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.

⁷ cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed—Christ,

¹⁴ Become not yoked with others—unbelievers, for what partaking is there to righteousness and lawlessness?

¹⁷ wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I—I will receive you,

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,

¹⁴ and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

¹⁴ `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid; ¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; ¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

²³ and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

¹⁹ if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not—but I chose out of the world—because of this the world hateth you.

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

⁹ `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

¹⁵ I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil. ¹⁶ `Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;

²⁰ where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

²⁷ and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

² in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

⁵ They—of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;

⁷ Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

¹⁹ we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

³ Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

¹⁶ And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee—to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth? ¹⁷ Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee. ¹⁸ If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers is thy portion. ¹⁹ Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together, ²⁰ Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander. ²¹ These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

⁵ Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

¹² A bribe they have taken in thee to shed blood, Usury and increase thou hast taken, And cuttest off thy neighbour by oppression, And Me thou hast forgotten, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!

¹⁷ `And if he may not hear them, say it to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.

²⁵ `Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence.

⁴⁹ and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know, ⁵¹ and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, ²² thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness; ²³ all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

¹⁵ And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.' <sup>16</sup> And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well; ¹⁷ and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits? ¹⁸ and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things, ¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry. ²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare—to whom shall they be? <sup>21</sup> so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
<sup>22</sup> And he said unto his disciples, `Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on; ²³ the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing. ²⁴ `Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls? <sup>25</sup> and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit? <sup>26</sup> If, then, ye are not able for the least—why for the rest are ye anxious? <sup>27</sup> `Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these; ²⁸ and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you—ye of little faith? ²⁹ `And ye—seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense, ³⁰ for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things; ³¹ but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

⁴⁵ `And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken; ⁴⁶ the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for him, and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.

¹¹ the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

³⁴ `And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,

¹⁷ And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me—Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming—that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'

¹³ as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;

¹ Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations—as that one hath the wife of the father! — ² and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work, ³ for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing: ⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—ye being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ Not good is your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?
⁷ cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed—Christ, ⁸ so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.
⁹ I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers— ¹⁰ and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world—

⁶ but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers!

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

¹² And to the rest I speak—not the Lord—if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

¹⁵ And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself—let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such cases, and in peace hath God called us;

¹¹ and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

⁷ Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;' ⁸ neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;

¹⁸ See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar? ¹⁹ what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? — ²⁰ no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons. ²¹ Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons; ²² do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?

²¹ for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

¹² for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,

¹⁹ And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

⁵ for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

¹⁸ and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,

³ for this is the will of God—your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom, ⁴ that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour, ⁵ not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God, ⁶ that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger is the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified, ⁷ for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification; ⁸ he, therefore, who is despising—doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

⁷ for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken, ⁸ and we, being of the day—let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet—a hope of salvation,

³ not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

⁵ wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction, ¹⁰ for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse, ¹⁵ having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love,

¹⁰ if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, `Hail!'

¹⁴ `But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;

²⁰ `But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;

¹⁵ and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

¹¹ and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

¹⁴ And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'

³⁶ Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

³ for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing: ⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—ye being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹ Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? ³ have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life? ⁴ of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly—these cause ye to sit; ⁵ unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

⁵ in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

¹² that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.

⁷ and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

⁵ `And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to death, for he hath spoken apostasy against Jehovah your God (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and hath ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to walk, and thou hast put away the evil thing from thy midst.

⁷ the hand of the witnesses is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

¹² And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel,

²¹ and all the men of his city have stoned him with stones, and he hath died, and thou hast put away the evil out of thy midst, and all Israel do hear and fear.

²¹ then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring in her father's house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst. ²² `When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.

²⁴ then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: —the damsel, because that she hath not cried, being in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

⁶ And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.

¹⁸ Better is wisdom than weapons of conflict, And one sinner destroyeth much good!

³¹ because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

⁵ to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

⁴ honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,
